Youre going to make…paper squishies!
Can you imagine a world without squishies?
Theyre super cute, squiggly, puffy, squishy, and the best part?
On top of it, super easy to make!
Theyre also a great craft activity for kids and can keep them occupied for hours playing with them.

Use different colored pens to make your drawing as colorful and creative as you’re able to!
Cut the drawn pattern out with a pair of scissors and set it aside for now.
Step 4
Once you are done designing your cartoon drawing, carefully cut out the outline.
Also cut out the back of the pattern and set aside.
Step 6
This next step will require a little more effort, but its still pretty fun!
Grab a roll of scotch.
Youll be covering the entire cutout with strips of tape from head to toe, as seen below.
Dont worry about the ends, you could always tuck them in later.
You will, however, need to watch out for any gaps between the tape.
Speaking of wrinkles, also venture to smoothen out any possible creases and air bubbles under the tape.
Laying the cut out flat on a table and taping it in place will help you eliminate these issues.
Step 7
Just remember to leave the bottom of the paper squishy uncovered.
Youll need that hole to stuff your toy filling inside it.
Tuck the ends of the tape as you go.
Step 9
When youre done with step 8, grab your bag of stuffing.
The trick is to only use as much of the stuffing as required, and not overstuff it.
It might be tempting to have a really squishy and cuddly squishy toy.
Step 10
Once youve stuffed the squishy, its time to tape the ends shut.
Then tuck them into each other and seal the tape in a neat fold.
Your paper squishy is all done!
I just bet your kids are going to love playing with it.
They can also help you make these squishies!
